~ Living life in Austin Texas. Howdy!

I know this is a term we’ve heard a hundred times. Sometimes it’s applicable, otherwise it’s somewhat overblown.

But, because this marks a major end to one of the largest components of the American space program (some might say the only, or last remaining component) it genuinely might be a term that applies here.

The moon landing occurred in my life time – so it’s with special sadness to see this last lift off and know that there’ll be no more.

Like this:

After our run around the town and looking at the different antique cars, we signed up for the Bayou Tour. This was a hoot – definitely worth the $8+ dollars. The guide was so colorful and for a moment, I thought I was in Louisiana.

The accent is so thick. But, then again, we are closer to Shreveport than Dallas at this point.

So we didn’t get into see the waxed Rhett Butler. But, who cares. Look at this old Dodge Truck.

We checked into the haunted Jefferson Hotel and walked around town. We found that Jefferson has an antique car museum! Gone with the whattt? Woo Hoo. Sign me up. We had a great time. I just love small car museums. This one had a grand total of like 16 cars or so. But, all beautiful.

I tried not to get sassy. After all, poor Sammie looked as though he were about to shed a tear. He apologized over and over, but really – it’s no big deal. Oh, yah, we drove a total of 5.5 hours to visit this museum, and we did call in advance to make sure they’d be open this day but when you’re dealing with small town Texas, you just know somethings are unavoidable – like unannounced fishing days, or what not.

So our “curator” or museum attendant decided to take the day off. Hmph. Whatcha gonna do.

I reminded the moist-eyed Sammie Gay, that we’d be just fine and find our own brand of adventure. Who needs a stinkin brochure to find fun?! And, so it was – alas – no pictures with a waxy Scarlett O’hara this visit. But, maybe next time.

I’m just happy to be here with Sam. I’m sure we’ll have the best time. Or a spooky one. 🙂

Living the California Life in Texas

Rob and I live with our puppies Ganso and Zorra here in Austin Texas.
We've been together since 1989 and enjoy spending time with family and friends. We moved to Texas from California in 2007 and it has been amazing transition from Sacramento to Austin. I hope we have an opportunity to get to see you/know you soon. Take care and be well.
